Chapter 547


    If the director is able to treat my condition, that’s the best oue. However, if Zeke is right and the


    director really messes things up, I’ll have Zeke take over instead. Perhaps he will be able to get rid of


    the curse that has been ced upon me.


    The director prescribed the required medicine immediately and handed it over to the nurse. He


    instructed the nurse to pack the medicine and prepare it as instructed.


    In the meantime, he asked Jeffrey toy on the bed while he rolled up the bottom of his pants.


    Swollen and intertwined veins can be seen all over Jeffrey’s legs.


    It was a horrifying scene because there were a lot of scratch marks on Jeffrey’s leg as well. Perhaps he


    overly scratched his leg due to the itching sensation he felt.


    All the symptoms that Jeffrey had indicated that he suffered from varicose veins.


    Firstly, the director cleansed the wounds with alcohol swabs. Then he applied a specially curated gel


    produced by the hospital to sedate the veins.


    Before long, the nurse returned with a bowl of decoction and handed it over to Jeffrey.


    He took a sip as instructed.


    Meanwhile, everyone had their eyes glued to the intertwined veins on Jeffrey’s leg.


    As time went by, Jeffrey’s leg had undergone drastic changes within ten minutes.


    The initially swelling veins shrunk and returned to healthy-looking veins.


    It could no longer be seen bulging on Jeffrey’s leg anymore.


    Jeffrey couldn’t feel the excruciating sensation he felt before. He was about to fall asleep as hey on


    the bed.


    Once again, the onlookers gasped as they were impressed.


    A curse? That young man must have been bluffing, right?


    I can’t believe he actually tried to mess with Mr. Middleton’s life. I’m sure he won’t let the young man off


    the hook anymore.


    The director was proud of himself and asked rhetorically, “Zeke, Mr. Middleton’s condition has improved


    drastically. Aren’t you going to exin yourself?”


    “Let’s take it easy. After all, this is merely the calm before the storm,” Zeke replied casually.


    In return, the director replied contemptuously, “Stop lying, you insolent fool. You’re just trying to buy


    yourself time to escape, right? I have gotten rid of the swollen and intertwined veins. Do you really


    think...”


    Before the director could finish his sentence, Jeffrey cried out in pain all of a sudden and sat upright on


    the bed. Subconsciously, he held himself in the leg.


    The crowd was taken aback due to Jeffrey’s reaction.


    Immediately, the director asked, “Mr. Middleton, what’s wrong?”


    Jeffrey gasped and exined, “My leg... I-It hurts... It felt as though something is devouring my veins...”


    When the onlookers heard Jeffrey’s words, they had their eyes glued to his leg once again.


    Actually, the condition of Jeffrey’s leg had improved aspared to its initial condition. In fact, nothing


    seemed to be wrong with it.


    However, an observant onlooker realized what was wrong and shouted, “Look! There’s a bruise on the


    mayor’s knee!”


    Everyone looked in the direction when they heard the man’s words.


    Indeed, there was a particrly noticeable swelling vein on Jeffrey’s knee.


    “Oh, God... What’s going on?”


    “That particr vein of his is swollen to such a horrifying extent. It seems like it’s about to burst at any


    moment.”


    “Look! It seems like something is moving!”


    “That’s right... It felt as though there’s a maggot digging around inside of the vein...”


    Argh!


    Once again, Jeffrey shrieked. “It hurts!”


    Another observant onlooker shouted, “Look! There’s another one on the mayor’s calf!”


    “You’re right!”


    “What on earth is going on?”


    “Look! The two wriggling things are on the move again. It seems like they’re trying to merge together.”


    As the crowd engaged themselves in the heated discussion, several simr things popped up one after


    another.


    Jeffrey would shriek hysterically every time another one of the things showed up in his leg.


    The onlookers looked on in horror when they saw that the wriggling things were capable of motion.


    They were moving in the same direction as though they were about to merge together.

    Chills ran down the onlookers’ spines because it was a horrifying scene.


    By then, Jeffrey could barely pull himself together due to the excruciating sensation he felt. “I-It hurts...


    It feels as though there are thousands of ants inside my veins. T-They’re drinking my blood and


    devouring my veins... I-It felt as though my veins are about to burst... H-Help me... P-Please...”
